sorry about the size
 
patience....ice....dolly hammer, dies.....and LOTS of patience.

Aluminum is very soft, so it heats up when you work it (thats what the ice is for....work the finish panel while cold...and work it SLOWLY, time IS of the essence with aluminum....and it wont distort as bad if you use thermal common sense.)

thanks for the much needed advice. thats exactly what i needed to know. now
to find a friend with the right tools lol.
 
Andy, please do yourself and your finish panel a favor and practice a LOT on something else first that isn't so important ... or as expensive to replace.
 
A buddy of mine just bought one off of a guy for like $150 that was mint. the guy didn't know he was sitting on a gold mine. His original one is in near mint condition. just needs polishing and paint. I'll ask him if he's willing to part with it.
 
I've heard several people say you can buy a textured argent silver paint from Eastwood that matches the finish panels. Whenever I called Eastwood they acted like they've never heard of it. If you find a # for the paint let us know.
